Biography
In 1957 Hines went to the William Morris School for the Arts. With the intention to become a dancer, in 1965 he moved to London and joined the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance, a part of Brunel University.[2] Two years later he worked with Stanley Kubrick as one of the character actors in 2001: A Space Odyssey. He returned to the Rambert School in 1969 and the same year he became a member of the London Ballet company.[2]
After his wedding in 1967, he started working for the Pergamon Press and for the Evening Standard. In 1976 Hines divorced his wife. Subsequently, he worked for a film company called the Scimitar Films, but he resigned with the aim to write more novels and plays, working in the meantime as a part-time taxi driver.[2]
His best known work is Bondage, a prize-winning monologue focused on a night in the life of a prostitute, inspired by a talking with an actual prostitute while he was working as a taxi driver.[3] The monologue has been presented as a theatrical drama in the whole of Europe[4][5][6] and made into a film by Ken Russell entitled Whore.[3]
In 1994 he published Unattended Baggage, a play about two brothers. Three years later he published A Leap into Madness, a monologue about Vaslav Nijinsky.[2]
Hines lives in London and in Italy.[citation needed]
